    Rumor? Eastern arc is being retired

    I wish I could find the filing, but I feel like the leases expire in 2028 or 2029. I am sure someone can help me - it is the government filing that shows the satellites and their date their leases expire or if Dish owns them. If it is 2028 or 2029, that gives Dish quite a bit of a runway...

    Bally Sports and MSG RSN Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    I can't post this full article because it is behind a paywall, but John Ourand, an industry expert, says that that this is not a long term agreement like many outlets are reporting. The agreement is only for the baseball season and expires in September...

    Can you help me please

    This is what I thought - I didn't think the 510 could handle MPEG4.

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 2/1/2025)

    Dish Studio is no longer on. It was on 102, 349, 9501, and 9502. Instead, it was replaced with an ad about Bonus View. It looks like is was permanently shut down. There is no more reference to it on the Dish Network website, other than an outdated channel lineup PDF. It is taking the same...

    Is there an issue with Satellite 119 Transponder 19?

    I have not seen it. I do have TV Land on, and that would have been the one time I would have seen it, but I have not. But then again, I don't look for it. I will look more closely the next time I have TV Land on.

    Echostar 15 Moves to 119W

    Does this mean that 119W will now have twice the bandwidth having 2 satellites at that location? Or will only one of the satellites be used and the other is a backup?

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 2/1/2025)

    I am doing a scan of the channels on Western Arc, and for the first time since 129 has been shut down, there is some movement of channels where it looks like Dish is trying to do something bigger than moving a single channel here and there. Last week, Dish removed all the active channels off...

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 2/1/2025)

    As expected, Channel 252 is now streaming only - I no longer see it in my VIP211k lineup. Also, for some reason, here in Chicago, the NCAA womens basketball slate was remapped to channel 12 in the locals area of my guide. The channels originate on 6159 for men and 6160 for women. Does the...

    Dish Survey on New Guide

    I can't see them updating the VIP guide at all.

    EchoStar Announces Financial Results

    Dish currently has 3 different satellites at 110, about to be a 4th, at 110? But only one at 119?

    RIP Matt Gonzales

    Wow - was not expecting to see this today. I went back to my direct messages and found a thread from 2017 where Matt helped me with my account. I chatted and called to Dish multiple times about Flex Pack not being an option on my account, and no one was able to figure it out, and ultimately I...

    Netflix Looking to Take NFL’s Sunday Afternoon Games from Fox and CBS in Next Media Deal

    Exactly! My T-Mobile 5G network is in Chicago about 75% of the time, but the other 25% bounces between Minnesota and Michigan. I am also not sure what this means from the article: In lieu of the games in a local market being available for free through the traditional airwaves captured by a...

    Satellite Channels Moving to Streaming Only

    I can see channel 252 - Law and Crime - is moving to streaming only on March 12, 2025. The slate on 244 show it as well as Dish's channel update page. https://my.dish.com/channelupdates That means BBC News (281), FMC (387), Pursuit (393), and soon Law and Crime have been removed from...

    Netflix Looking to Take NFL’s Sunday Afternoon Games from Fox and CBS in Next Media Deal

    I don't know the ins and outs, but I thought part of the NFL TV deal setup to have games on OTA in the local markets was to avoid something with antitrust laws. That if the games were to be taken off OTA in local markets, then the NFL could potentially lose the antitrust exemption and then each...

    Netflix Looking to Take NFL’s Sunday Afternoon Games from Fox and CBS in Next Media Deal

    Not at all. The one thing that I do find appealing is that if a single entity had all the NFL games, I wouldn't need to subscribe to ESPN+, Peacock, NFL Network, Netflix, Amazon and all these services.

    Netflix Looking to Take NFL’s Sunday Afternoon Games from Fox and CBS in Next Media Deal

    Just doing a quick search online for the major deals per year - ESPN is $2.7 billion, FOX is $2.2 billion, CBS is $2.1 billion, NBC is $2 billion, Sunday Ticket is $2 billion, Amazon is $1 billion. That is $12 billion per year. And I am sure there are other deals - like the NFL Network games...

    211k deleting recordings

    I went back and I found the other posts I was referring to earlier. Here are the previous 2 threads that I posted in and my experience with the 211k and recordings deleting. I am convinced something was changed in the software - to have multiple people reporting the same thing seems way too...

    211k deleting recordings

    Can someone remind me - is it possible to have both a VIP211k and a Wally active on the same account? Right now I have two owned VIP211k's. Can I purchase a Wally, and replace one the VIP211k's and have a combination of 1 VIP211k and 1 Wally? Or do both have to be changed out at the same time?

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 2/1/2025)

    Today's uplink did remove FMC from 387 for those of us with older receivers. I assume it is now available in HD as a streaming channel on 387? I can't see for sure since I have a VIP211k

    211k deleting recordings

    Correct. I ended up losing all my recordings from the past 7 years - multiple complete TV series and movies I would go back and watch. I started recordings again, and then once the recordings got to be about 2 months old, they stopped working. I find it hard to believe that both of my hard...

    211k deleting recordings

    Yeah - I had the issue starting back in October. I had a thread that I started that I can't seem to find at the moment about this. I am not sure why the VIP211k started deleting. In essence, the files for the recordings were deleted but the entry was not removed from the recording list. I...

    Free Preview - Showtime

    I found this interesting - this weekend's Showtime free preview is just channel 318. I don't ever recall the free preview for the premium channels ever being a single channel like that. From what I remember, it has always been the entire suite of premium channels in the specific package that...

    110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 2/1/2025)

    I updated the list this morning. No movement on the current channels between transponders the past couple of weeks. Only change was that the Cozi info slate on 253 has been completely removed.

    3 Reasons to Watch Live Sports with an Antenna

    That is what we have in Chicago - we have five 1080p channels on a single frequency. The ATSC 3.0 channels look really, really good. Strangely enough, the five 1080p channels all sharing the same bandwidth looks better than the HD channels when they are sharing with the SD subchannels.
